One Year of Grizzie & Friends

One year ago, on May 18, 2025, I published my very first Grizzie book. At this time,  I never imagined just how much this little orange cat and his friends would grow into such a special part of my life. 
Over this past year, the world of Grizzie & Friends  has grown into stories filled with friendship, adventure, laughter, sweet moments, and so much heart.  From beach days and camping days, to Halloween fun, Christmas magic, coloring books and even a Spanish edition, every project has been created with gratitude and love. 
One of the most meaningful additions this year was The Sunflower Garden, a story inspired by forever friendships, even my Abuelita  became  part of this story along with all the beautiful people who support and encourage us through life.  That story will always hold a special place in my heart. 
I also want to thank my family, friends, readers, and of course my furry inspirations who helped bring these stories to life.  Grizzie, Snoops, Sharpay, Hootie, Fiona and even Archie, with all of his mischievous little adventures, became special parts of this journey and helped bring so much laughter to these stories. 
To everyone who had supported my books, visited my website, shared a post, purchased a story, or simply cheered me on - thank you from the bottom of my heart.  Your kindness means more than you know.  Some of my sweetest moments this past year have been messages from families and the photos of the little readers enjoying Grizzie & Friends they mean the world to me! 
Here’s to another year of stories, friendship, creativity, kindness & fun adventures with Grizzie & Friends.🧡
